I enjoyed listening to this one while puzzling, I will read more of this Author

"Pure hearts will shine out even in history's darkest moments."

To what lengths would you go to save books?

The book asks this question on a macro level, but I saw it as more personal.

5/5

This is a solid addition to the cannon of WWII stories. It‘s been translated from Spanish and I thought the translator did a wonderful job. Several passages were quite beautiful. I‘m in a major funk at the moment, as I keep hearing countless stories from friends and family about the current anti-Semitic attacks occurring throughout the US as well as Europe & Canada. After reading this book I can‘t help drawing the parallels. My heart is heavy 💔

“Books don‘t have owners; they‘re free agents we just happen to hold for a brief time.” That‘s definitely the way I view books. I prefer to read them and then share them, although I‘m always “envious” when I see so many Littens beautiful shelves😍📚🙌🏻❣️#NetGalley #ARC

I received this ARC from Edelweiss. I found the letters written to a famous French author to be awkward until the very end. This isn‘t a true epistolary novel but it does incorporate letters written by the protagonist. It took me a bit to get involved in the story but once I got there, it was pretty intense.
